Greetings from Capt. Dave & The Baymen!

I just returned from a scouting trip up north for Ruffed Grouse & Woodcock. We moved 20 grouse and 13 woodcock – without a dog! I am looking for a few good hunters that would like to book the camp for bird hunting (your dogs). I am available to guide or you can go it alone. Shoot me an e-mail for more info at baymencharters@gmail

DEER HUNTERS WANTED: I have an opening for two deer hunters max for deer rifle season up north. Full lodging and semi-guiding. There will be only four people max in camp and you could be one of them! E- mail me for more info baymencharters@gmail

STRIPER BLITZ! – I just came from scouting the beach at 5:30pm. There were several schools of fish pushing bait right up against the shoreline from the Beach Channel to the Humps and also offshore to maybe 400 yards out. Lots of birds working the bait. The bass were not breaking water and my guess is they are very small fish…

STRIPED BASS CHARTERS 2020/2021: If you have not booked your dates yet, do it very soon… 50% deposit to book, balance due the day of your trip. Fly Fishing or Light Tackle all inshore. Entering my 27th season guiding on the bay. Where does the time go…

Final Word… Still some solid fall striped bass fishing if you put your time in and watch for the fish to come through. We are in Gap Days now and then it will slowly fade away for another year. Watch the bay, watch the fishing reports and give it one last shot. You never know when Tony Stetzko’s MA state record striped bass, weighing 73 pounds (fromm shore!) will be broken…

Tight Lines & good fishing. Come on up to Deer Camp 2019. Two slots left – one of them could be yours!

PS – Lt. Col. Comstock reports the bass are thick in Newport today!
